aikido as "self defense" is dangerous because it will give people a false sense of security...especially women...this is my 36th year in martial arts and I taught my girlfriend the "hidden knife" as I call it...it is the only realistic scenario where a weak person can actually defend him/herself against an attacker...you act like a fucking pussy and beg and cry until the opponent comes close enough and then a knife to the groin and to to the throat with less than a second pause between surprise stabbings...you never show the knife until the very last second...
the other alternative is years of martial arts and a specific body type (over 200lb min)...there is no 3rd scenario where a weak person can defend himself without a gun or some weapon...aikido is dangerous...you will have a very very bad time with it...90% of all martial artists are pussies even with martial arts...reality and TV are vastly different...
